I heard that Europe had a different motor, still a 1.9l, but different from the M42 & 44. What changes were made? Specs? Any information at all would be helpful, really. I'm mostly just curious. | | | 02-01-2006, 11:58 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 | M43 SOHC I4? | | | 02-02-2006, 12:07 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: England, UK Posts: 1,288 | i got the M43 __________________ 1995 BMW 316i Cosmos Black Mods: • Magnex Cat-Back Exhaust • Smoked Corner Lights + Repeators • M3 17" Wheels • De-Baffled Air Box • AC HandBrake Handle and Gear Knob • DEPO Euro Epsiloids + Predator Chronium Rings • Chrome Interior bits •IE Poly-Urethane RSFMs • Kenwood Power Series Audio • Powder Coated e36 325 Front Callipers • Sports Seats | | | 02-02-2006, 12:17 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Greece Athens Posts: 302 | nothing in common!! __________________ Alpina front lip spoiler,ACS roof spoiler,OEM clear rear-side lights,In-Pro blackchrome front indicators,Lummar tinted glasses,318ti.org decalls,Eibach Sportline 45mm/30mm springs,Bilstein Sprint shocks,16mm rear sway bar,front eccentric wishbone bushes,E46 conv.
